Definitions
- This relates to the field of inhibiting type 1 collagen synthesis and, more particularly, to compounds that inhibit collagen synthesis.
- Collagen is a protein in the body that gives bones, connective tissues, and organs their physical structure. Different forms of collagen are identified by their "types.” Type 1 collagen, the primary form found in the human body, is found in the skin, tendons, ligaments, bones, organs, and vascular system and has a fiber-like structure.
- Fibrosis is the presence of excess connective tissue in a region of the body. Excess connective tissue in an organ can interfere with the organ's functions. There are many diseases related to fibrosis, some of which include arterial hardening, cirrhosis, scleroderma, and myelofibrosis. Fibrosis-related diseases are a major medical problem throughout the world. Brief Summary
- cephalosporin-related compounds that are sometimes found as impurities in commercial cephalosporin antibiotic preparations have antifibrotic activity.
- an antifibrotic composition includes a pharmaceutical dosage form that is substantially cephalosporin free and includes a compound of formula wherein where R1 and R2 are, independently, at least one member selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, hydroxy, carboxy, acyl, nitro, phosphor, halo, sulfo, ester, ether, and amino; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
- R1 and R2 are, independently, at least one member selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, hydroxy, carboxy, acyl, nitro, phosphor, halo, sulfo, ester, ether, and amino; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
- Optional features of the composition may include one or more of the following features.
- Substantially cephalosporin free may be 0%-5% w/w cephalosporin in the pharmaceutical dosage form.
- Some examples of the pharmaceutical dosage form may have no substantial antibacterial efficacy.
- An example of a treatment method includes administering to a patient having a fibrotic condition a therapeutically effective amount of the composition to a patient.
- Optional features of this method may include one or more of the following features.
- Substantially cephalosporin free may be 0%-5% w/w cephalosporin in the pharmaceutical dosage form.
- Some examples of the pharmaceutical dosage form may have no substantial antibacterial efficacy.
- R2 may be selected from [0017] The formula may be
- the fibrotic condition may be at least one of a pulmonary fibrosis, a liver fibrosis, a heart fibrosis, a brain fibrosis, a circulatory system fibrosis, a skin fibrosis, and an intestinal fibrosis.
- An example of a method of inhibiting type 1 collagen synthesis includes contacting at least one cell expressing type 1 collagen with the composition.
- the cell may be at least one cell selected from a lung cell, a liver cell, a heart cell, a brain cell, a circulatory system cell, a skin cell, and an intestinal cell.
- a lung cell a liver cell, a heart cell, a brain cell, a circulatory system cell, a skin cell, and an intestinal cell.
- optionally features of this method include one or more of the following features.
- Substantially cephalosporin free may be 0%-5% w/w cephalosporin in the pharmaceutical dosage form.
- the pharmaceutical dosage form may have no substantial antibacterial efficacy.
- FIG. 1 is the structure of an example of a cephalosporin.
- FIG. 2 shows examples of antifibrotic cephalosporin derivatives.
- FIG. 3A shows examples of cephalosporins with examples of R1 and R2 groups indicated.
- FIG. 3B shows examples of cephalosporins with examples of R1 and R2 groups indicated.
- FIG. 3D shows examples of cephalosporins with examples of R1 and R2 groups indicated.

- FIB fibronectin
- FIG. 13 is data showing the inhibition of type I collagen production by human lung fibroblasts.
- the upper panel is a representative Western blot.
- the lower panel is the quantification of expression in three independent experiments.
- cephalosporins fall into a class of antibiotic drugs used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections by inhibiting enzymes in the cell walls of susceptible bacteria.
- FIG. 1 The core structure of a cephalosporin is shown in FIG. 1. It generally includes a dihydrothiazine ring, a b-lactam ring, and an acyl side chain.
- R1 and R2 refer to "R" groups commonly used by organic chemists to refer to interchangeable moieties.
- Cefixime and cefdinir examples of cephalosporins, are provided in FIG. 1 with their R1 and R2 groups indicated.
- LARP6 regulates Type I collagen expression in fibrosis, which is characterized by excessive synthesis of type I collagen in various organs.
- LARP6 binds a unique sequence present in type I collagen mRNAs, the 5' stem- loop (5'SL). This binding regulates translation of type I collagen mRNAs and is necessary for fibrosis development in vivo. Mice in which binding of LARP6 to 5'SL is genetically abolished are resistant to liver fibrosis. This indicates that the inhibitors of LARP6 binding to collagen mRNAs can be specific and effective antifibrotic drugs.
- US Patent No. 8,697,385 describes a method of screening a compound for its ability to interfere with collagen synthesis that takes advantage of this property of LARP6. Such a method may be used to screen different cephalosporins for antifibrotic activity.

- Example 1 A component of commercial cefixime preparations inhibits type 1 collagen synthesis
- FIG. 4 shows the inhibitory activity of two different commercial preparations of cefixime (comm prep 1 and 2) on dissociation of LARP5/5'SL RNA complex in vitro.
- the in vitro binding of LARP6 to 5'SL RNA was monitored by measuring fluorescence polarization (FP).
- FP fluorescence polarization
- FIG. 4 shows the inhibitory potential of two cefixime preparations. Preparation 1 almost completely displaced LARP6 from 5'SL RNA at 25 pM, while preparation 2 needed 200 pM to produce a similar effect.
- FIG. 7 shows that treatment of cells with cefixime preparation 1 compromised the binding ability of endogenous LARP6 in concentration dependent manner, with the first effect seen with 22.5 mM cefixime preparation 1.
- cefixime preparation 1 was added to purified LARP6 and incubated for 30 min to equilibrate the reaction. The protein/cefixime preparation 1 component complex was then dialyzed overnight. In the case that the cefixime preparation 1 component is not stably attached to LARP6, it will be dialyzed away and LARP6 will regain the ability to bind 5'SL RNA.
- Fig. 10 shows a western blot of the collagen a 1 (I) polypeptide accumulated in the medium.
- Cefixime preparation 2 at 50 pM or at higher concentrations significantly decreased type I collagen secretion.
- secretion of type I collagen was reduced by about 50%.
- 100 pM it was reduced by about 80%.
- Secretion of another extracellular protein, fibronectin was not affected, suggesting the collagen specific effect.
- 50 pM is the concentration of cefixime preparation 2 which is also shows the first effect in vitro. The more potent preparation 1 reduced type I collagen secretion at concentrations of 10-25 pM. This provided evidence that a component of commercial cefixime preparations can act as antifibrotic drugs.
- cefixime derivatives and other cephalosporin derivatives may stably interact with LARP6 and diminishes its binding affinity for the 5'SL.
- Different commercial preparations of cefixime have different activity, because they contain different proportions of the active derivative. This implicates that the anti-LARP6 activity of cefixime derivatives.
- the inhibitory effect of commercial preparations on type I collagen production was at 10-50 pM. This concentration can be dramatically lowered if the active derivative is used rather than the commercial cefixime preparation.
- Example 2 Identification of CID 71314610 as the active compound [00103]
- the component with antifibrotic activity in the commercial cefixime preparations was identified by affinity binding of the commercial cefixime preparations to the purified LARP6 protein, followed by elution of the bound molecular species and their identification by mass spectrometry.
- Figure 11 shows that a component with molecular weight of 428.0683 was preferentially bound to LARP6 (Cefixime itself has molecular weight of 453.5). This component has two diastereomer isoforms which were present in miniscule amounts in the commercial cefixime preparations, but both were sequestered by LARP6 protein.
- FIG. 11 shows that 50% of one diastereomer and 100% of the other diastereomer that were present in the input Cefixime preparation were bound by LARP6.
- CID 71314610 does not contain the lactam ring, which is needed for antimicrobial activity of cefixime, but it retains the imine side group useful for oral bioavailability.
- CID 71314610 binds LARP6 protein as shown in FIG. 11. By interacting with LARP6, it inhibits LARP6 ability to bind 5' stem-loop of collagen mRNAs and this suppresses type I collagen production by profibrotic cells. [00108] To assess the efficacy of CID 71314610 in inhibiting LARP6 binding to its target sequence, the 5' stem-loop of type I collagen mRNAs, recombinant LARP6 protein was added to 5' stem-loop RNA in vitro and CID 71314610 was added at nano-M concentrations to the reaction. The formation of LARP6/RNA complex was analyzed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. FIG. 12 shows two independent experiments. Dissociation of 50% of LARP6/RNA complexes was seen at 50 nM of CID 71314610 and ⁇ 90% of LARP6 was dissociated at 100 nM.
- Fluman lung fibroblasts are responsible for lung fibrosis. These cells were cultured in vitro and CID 71314610 was added to the cellular medium at 0.5-50 pM. After overnight incubation the medium was changed and secretion of type I collagen into the fresh medium was analyzed by western blot. The rate of collagen secretion into the medium is a measure of the profibrotic activity of cells. Type I collagen is composed of two polypeptides, a 1 (I) and a2(I), so both were analyzed. FIG. 13, upper panel, shows a representative experiment.
- Fibrosis is a chronic disease that requires years of therapy, so antifibrotic drugs should be specific for type I collagen, substantially nontoxic and orally bioavailable.
- Cefixime is one of the least toxic drugs, so it is likely that CID 71314610 is also nontoxic. CID 71314610 does not have the original antimicrobial activity, so may be used safely. Its pharmacokinetics may also be similar to that of Cefixime. Cefixime is orally bioavailable and CID 71314610 retains the chemical structure conferring the oral bioavailability.
- CID 71314610 targets LARP6, which is the specific regulator of type I collagen expression, therefore, CID 71314610 represents specific antifibrotic drug. Based on these facts, this invention is to repurpose CID 71314610 for treatment of fibrosis of various organs.
